Keep 911 services in Norwood!
The Issue
‼️ URGENT ‼️
IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE LIVES/WORKS IN NORWOOD OR OWNS A BUSINESS OR PROPERTY IN NORWOOD, PLEASE READ THIS!!!
Mayor Victor Schneider has decided to get rid of the Norwood Communications Center. As of February 1, our 911 will be outsourced to Hamilton County UNLESS WE CAN CHANGE HIS MIND. On Tuesday, Jan 12, 2021, Norwood City Council will be voting on whether or not Norwood will enter a contract with Hamilton County for 911 services. They don't really have a choice other than to approve it. If they vote against it, we won't have access to 911. Not only do we have amazing dispatchers here at Norwood Communications Center, but a lot of them are lifelong Norwood residents with a vested interest in our community. They truly want to keep our streets and residents safe.
There are many reasons that I think getting rid of Norwood dispatch is a horrible idea and a huge disservice to our community! For example...What happens if you have an emergency and you don't know exactly where you are or maybe there's no physical address. It will take a lot longer for dispatch to figure out where you are if they aren't familiar with the city and landmarks. Luckily this isn't an issue for Norwood dispatchers. They can quickly pinpoint your location so that help can be sent your way.
When seconds can mean the difference between life and death, the people I want answering my emergency calls are the people that KNOW AND CARE ABOUT OUR CITY, OUR STREETS, AND OUR RESIDENTS!
If you feel the same way, PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND CONTACT MAYOR SCHNEIDER BY THIS TUESDAY TO URGE HIM TO KEEP THE NORWOOD COMMUNICATIONS CENTER OPEN! Your life or the life of a loved one may depend on it!
